👨🏻‍🔬🔮 The Super-Kamiokande, located 1,000 meters underground in the Kamioka mine in Japan, is one of the world’s most advanced neutrino detectors. This massive stainless steel cylinder, standing 41.5 meters tall and 39.3 meters in diameter, holds 50,000 tons of ultrapure water. Its purpose is to detect interactions of neutrinos—subatomic particles that rarely interact with matter—using over 11,000 light-sensitive photomultiplier tubes. When a neutrino interacts with the water, it produces a faint flash of light, allowing scientists to study the properties of these elusive particles. This groundbreaking detector has been instrumental in advancing research in astrophysics and cosmology. MCG Technology™
